SV650 won't start
turned out to be a real tricky mother.
you need two things, spark and fuel.
now when we ripped out the plugs, they were wet, so i knew we were getting fuel. so cleaned them up, tested for spark, yep. wacked em back in and it still wouldn't run. quick call to rossi and he informs me sometimes u'll get spark when u test the plugs, but they'll fail under compression. so down to brighton kwak for some new plugs. shit they're closed. oh well we'll go in next door to brighton bikes and bits. top service. not only did they provide us with plugs, but also a quick run down on how to drain the barrell if new plugs didn't work.
but new plugs did the trick. i took it for a quick spin and it's runnin well.
ro-dogg send his thanks for the advice and help from everyone here.

There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.
hit the nail on the head with that one chikky.
and to make things worse. cos it's a v-twin, you gotta remove the top fairings and radiator to get at the front plug. far more effort than it should require
